HECKLING THE DRUGGIS"
<
The popular indoor sport now-a- 1
days with law makers is heckling the
druggist.
The druggist must take out a li- 1
cense for this,a special permit for that, .
keep a detailed record of sales for 1
this, that and the other thing until
his head is in a whirl and the conduct
of his store a world of needless de- :
tail which adds to his confusion oi '
mind and his cost of doing business. 1
Why pick on the druggist? He is !
not a crook but a very valuable citizen
whose service in the community
ranks with the doctor and the clergy. ;
South Carolina House Bill No. 193
simply adds another of those abominable
details. Every time the druggist j
sell a bottle of tonic, bitters, drugs,
medicines, toilet articles, flavoring
extract, he must have his customer 1
sign a certificate.
The government is not supposed to .
issue permits for alcohol to com- :
pound preparations which can be used ;
as beverages.
If the Department at Washington
is lax in the peftnonmance of its duty
they propose to fine and imprison the
druggist
That is a fine little arrangement
isn't it?
Laws we must have, but lets have
some constructive ones instead of trying
to throttle legitimate business
and hanging the hooks into inoffensive
citizens.

A Rebuke to The Indolent.
It was Solomon who said, "Go to
the ant,.thou sluggard; consider her
Aays and be wise." Now, if the sluggards
in the United States would go
to Florida, they would have ample
jpportunity to acquire wisdom. It is
said that there are more ants to the
square mile in Florida than in any
>ther country in the world. There
are ants which will measure half an
inch in length, dnd there are ants so
:mall that they can scarcely be seen
tc move with the unaided eye.
A man,who has had a great deal
jf experience with them, said recently:
"The Florida ants will take out the
ettuce and other minute seeds from
:he soil in which thsy are planted and
actually destroy the beds. They will
?et into pie, pickle, sauce, sirup, sural
and on meat; will riddle a cake,
>r fill a loaf o-f baker's bread till it
is worthless. All remedies failing.
[ took to baiting them near their nests
,aV 1' UsvvtAc n rjnlo 51 nH
A'ltn Slices ui meat, uvueo
jcar pearings, and when I had from
>0,000 to 100,000 out, would turn a
cettle of boiling1 water on them. I
dlled, during one week, over a million,
in the space of a quarter-acre
ot, and I have almost wiped them
>ut.
"It is curious and instructive to
-ee how promptly the ants which es:ape
the scalding will go to work takng
out the dead, and, after piling
them outside first, go to excavating
igain and rebuilding their cells and
runways. This being done very quickly,
the next work on hand is the lay
ng in of a supply 01 iooo, oy nauim*
the dead bodies of the hot-water victims
into the storehouses. You may
see a small black ant hauling and tugging
at the carcass of a red ant. twenty
times its own weight, and he always
succeeds, in the end, in landing it in
the warehouse of the colony.
"Next you may see a sort of ambulance
corps searching for the disabled.
These are taken carefully into the
underground house, where the surgeons
and nurses are in waiting. Then,
too, you may see the timekeepers and
bosses directing this one, or turning
another back on some errand or to
some other duty. There is not a moment's
delay, no haul ting feet, no idle
hands; but all move as if it were then
last day on earth, and this the only
hour left in which to redeem a misspent
life. For lessons in industry
and in perfect government, go to the
ants."
